Menu background - what is it?

[MK Dragon]

Okay, seriously, WTF is it supposed to be? It looks like tubes / bars hanging like those islands in Avatar. In some parts it kind of looks like a city skyline with just tall buildings, signifying timelines with the other end being upside down? To me it's just generic AF and would be great if we'd get more options, especially with Ultimate coming out. They should give us an Outworld theme, Shang Tsung island / Tagawa theme, Jinsei White Lotus theme, God theme, Cyber Lin Kuei, Shirai-Ryu and a Tarkatan one for example

It always reminds me of the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.

I'd love if you could have stage backgrounds like MKX.

Spot on. I’d imagine it’s just rock formations that you see in Kronika’s Keep.

The music that plays is very annoying. Sometimes I mute it.

I hate it! I applaud the effort but man the depressing music kills the mood as well as the background!

Sometime I think NRS forget they are making a fighting game. I don’t understand why everything needs to feel like a movie.

Nothing bothers me more than that the main select screen has revenants instead of human form

I've always assumed it's meant to be the crystalline rock from what Time Krystals would be made, like they're the residual formations caused by the energy of her creating new time lines?

If you go to the Character Kustomize menu you can see one of the floating rock formations much closer as the podium for your character. It clearly appears to be a dimension between time, space and realms, the floor resembles Kronika's architecture, so for me it always made sense that it's the place she mines the Time Krystals from, which presumably have a fictional in-universe purpose beyond being just real-world currency for the online store?
